Description
The War of 1812 was rife with collateral damage, bringing death and destruction to women and children as well as soldiers. One youngster, filled with a lust for youthful adventure, eventually found himself in the thick of the fighting. Jarvis Hanks, born in Pawlet, Vt., was only 13 years old when the war broke out, and as he wrote years later, "The pomp and splendor of a military life were vividly portrayed in my foolish imagination and produced a desire to engage in the service."
